The Author
Jackie M Baker
Jackie supports mothers throughout their grief journeys, guiding them as they navigate the profound devastation after the loss of a child by suicide. She encourages them; knowing that they can eventually thrive and grow again, finding beauty and hope amid their brokenness.
Residing among the evergreens in the Pacific Northwest in Washington state, Jackie is a dedicated follower of Jesus and has been married to her husband, Steve, for thirty-five years. They have two children: a married daughter residing in Arizona and a son who resides in heaven.
Jackie holds a doctorate in nursing practice from the University of Washington and a master’s degree in biblical studies from Multnomah University. In addition to her writing, Jackie works as a pediatric nurse practitioner, providing care to underserved children in her community. Her literary career began with the publication of her first poem, “I Have an Elf of My Own,” in Our Best in '73: Buffalo Public Schools at the age of ten. She has since had essays published in Ekstasis Magazine and The Columbian Newspaper. Messy Mourning is her first book.
“The more I talk about my son, the easier it is to tell his story. What I have discovered over the last eight years is that when I share about Sebastian and I am vulnerable with people about my struggles, I find it becomes easier for people to open up and share their hurts and suffering.”
